I know some of you may find this difficult to believe -- especially in a market dominated by short sales and foreclosures in Sacramento -- but this gorgeous Carmichael pool home is for sale by a traditional seller. You know, the type of seller who would like to sell at a fair price and is not upside down. This means that some lucky buyer can actually write an offer, get it accepted and close escrow in 30 days without complications.
If you're hoping to buy a home tucked away near the end of a culdesac with a big lot and lots of upgrades, come by the open house on Sunday, August 9th, from 2 to 4 PM. You can also call me or your real estate agent for a private showing before then.
I am confident that once you step foot into this updated home, you will be amazed. Your jaw will drop. Upon entering the home, you are greeted with soaring ceilings and an open floor plan.
Apart from finding two fireplaces, one in the formal living room and another in the family room, the step-up dining room and kitchen feature 18-inch ceramic flooring with designer light fixtures and pendants. Multiple ceiling fans help to distribute those cool Delta breezes flowing in from the west in the evenings throughout the home.
The master suite is enormous, with a balcony that overlooks the beautifully landscaped front yard and tree tops (see photo below). Its bath has a jetted tub. A third bedroom is open to the family room below but can be closed off by securing the shutters. It is presently being used as an office.
Laundry is located on the first floor in the extra large half bath. There is even a 3-car garage with abundant storage. In fact, there is extra storage almost everywhere in this spacious 2,021-square-foot home.
The 27,000-gallon pool has been resurfaced; the solar panel tubes have been replaced along with state-of-art integrated controls and a newer pool sweep. It has a covered patio, and even more garden space behind the trees in the back with two covered sheds.
By the time you reach the back yard, I can practically guarantee that you will be asking "where do I sign?" I've seen no lovelier home in Carmichael, cross my heart.
3145 Petty Lane, Carmichael, California, offered exclusively by Lyon Real Estate at $399,900.

Elizabeth: I'm ready to come over for a dip in the pool. And then I'll relax under that gorgeous tree in the front yard with a book. Ahhhh!
Hooray for you... a normal seller. Won't it be nice when it sells without all the bank approvals?
I wonder how long it will be before we don't have to mention the words short sale or bank repo? Good luck to your sellers.
A normal, real seller in this market is priceless. It affords so much more for the home buyer. A secure transaction. A fast closing. No problems, no headaches, a real transaction at a great price. It's almost unheard of today! We can't wait for the open on Aug. 9th.
Switching gears feels funny doesn't it ? Unfortunately some buyers confuse every listing with "Let's make a deal" per the media mantra and not the recent market sales....the values either way are incredible for the buyers !
This is a truly beautiful home...looks much better in your post than it does on Google maps.
